Hello everyone! Takiro here, current Head Honcho of Initium Clanovum. Nova Blue has stepped down for the time being, allowing me to take the reigns and, hopefully, kick this thing into gear. If any questions arise, feel free to PM me and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. I look forward to being in control here and let's make this the best damn clan Neo has ever seen!

About The Clan

We have here a cozy little clan that goes by the name of Initium Clanovum (meaning "New Beginning Clan" in our screwball language, mutiLatin). We battle, trade, and discuss topics related to the world of Pokemon, but are open to the discussion of other fandoms as well. Come on in, apply for to be one of our clanners, and chat it the eff up! Chances are you'll make new friends and get your hands on some good pokemon, but, most importantly of all, you'll have a good time.

Clan Rules

1. You must have regular access to a Generation 4 game. Having both Generation 5 and 4 is fine, but 4 is the important one in this Clan.2. No flaming, spamming, and/or insulting fellow Clanmates.3. Please do not go off topic from discussions and such. For example, if we're talking about our favorite games, don't say 'My boyfriend broke up with me today. What should I do?' That's disruptive and unnecessary, and you can take it somewhere else, not here.4. Please refrain from Double Posting. It makes the thread cluttered and messy. Instead, if you have something else to say, please click the 'quick edit' or 'edit' buttons to the bottom right of your post.5. To sign up, you must follow the Application Rules and Form.6. Clanmates should call each other by their Clan Names, but still tag the people they're addressing using their NeoNames.7. If you are absent from Neoseeker/Clan talk for at least a week, we will take you out of the Clan Member Roster and place you in the 'Pending Roster' because we need active members. If you have an emergency reason, please notify us beforehand, otherwise you may have to battle us again.8. Enjoy!

BREAKING AT LEAST 1 OF THE RULES AT LEAST THREE TIMES WILL RESULT IN A TEMPORARY BAN. BREAKING AT LEAST 3 OF THE RULES AT LEAST TWO TIMES WILL RESULT IN A KICK-OUT FROM THE CLAN.

Application: Rules & Form1. Again, to emphasize, please do not apply unless you have a Generation 4 Pokemon game!2. When applying, you will be given a test. This test is to battle any one of the Founders or Leaders who agree too battling with you.3. If you lose, you have only one more chance (two chances total) to battle one of the Founders. Use your chance wisely, otherwise you cannot join the Clan. I suggest you build up your team for a while based off what you've seen from our Pokemon...4. If you succeed in joining the Clan, you will receive a Clan Name, chosen by the Founders.5. Also, you must have had at least 30 posts in Neoseeker and at least 3 threads. This way, we can ensure you are responsible enough to handle the Clan.

Made by DarkWhisperer (a friend/guest)Yes, most of the Pokemon are inaccurate but it's still awesome. And who knows? Maybe a regular Umbreon, an Ariados, a Honchkrow, and a Raikou lover will join the Clan! x3 (I, NovaBlueShinyUmbreon also love Noctowls as my second favorite Pokemon, so consider me the Noctowl/Hoothoot lover in this one.)It's epic though!!!

Initium Clanovum now has a Banner, and six members from this day. Can we vote?Say 'Pie' if you want to open up the Clan thread to recruit new members.Say 'Bleh' if you want to keep the Clan closed until we feel really good and secure about opening up.

Sorry for my absence for the past couple days, been a tad busy/preoccupied and most of today and most likely this evening will be no exception, so I'll just throw in my vote and let you guys take it from there.

My vote:

But don't forget that we need to test the applicators to see if they're up to snuff! We don't want every John and Jane coming in, filling up our (limited) ranks and then stuck like that. Just use your discretion prease x]

Alrighty I think the majority says we should open itJust one thing - Takiro, if we're to keep our limited ranks, this is what I've suggested, opposing your rule (if you don't remember, it was "Even if the people lose, they should get in, because they would do something to get in the Clan.") I think that would quickly let our Roster become full... so here's what I came up with:1) You must challenge one of the Founders, Leaders, or Co-Leaders2) If you win, you are accepted.3) If you lose, you have 2 more chances to prove yourself, or 3 chances total. Use these chances wisely. If you spend them all, you cannot enter the Clan, unless an exception is made by NovaBlueShinyUmbreon or Takiro. So, you should build up your team for some time if you lose, and challenge us again when you feel secure.4) Again, no legendaries allowed. Anything else is fine.

The only problem with that is that they can learn your team the first time, use pkmn with type advantages the next time, and then just destroy you. So maybe two chances? Three is definitely too many. And I think we may need a dedicated battler (Acervatar perhaps?) because I'm not much of a battler, I'm definitely more of a trader/breeder.
